Pakistan’s banned cricketers Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif could face problems convincing the ICC to put aside their suspension periods when they complete their five-year ban term in August 2015.
Reliable sources in the PCB have said while the board was preparing to make a request to the ICC once again to allow the third banned player, Mohammad Aamir, to start training and playing some club or domestic cricket before his ban ends in August 2015, they were also concerned about Butt and Asif’s situation.
The three Pakistani cricketers were given five-year bans in February, 2011 by the anti-corruption tribunal of the ICC for involvement in the spot-fixing scandal during Pakistan’s tour to England in 2010. The ban can be invoked or put aside only by the anti-corruption tribunal of the ICC when Asif and Butt complete their five-year bans in August 2105.
